Before I build a Lenny system on my 5-year-old PC, I want to replace the two

sure I get the right drives. I will probably get 500GB drives and do not

I'm trying to use smbclient to connect from the console of an Etch host to a

and my password. However, any of these smbclient lines fails:

Can anyone tell me how to extract a vector graphics image from a PDF?
The PDF was created with LaTeX, so I'm pretty sure the image was incorporated
as vector graphics (PS or EPS). I am aware of pdfimages from the
poppler-utils package, but it only handles raster graphics.
